Music from Imeem

If you like music as much as I do, check out my "Recommended Music" playlist in the sidebar. Imeem.com powers this playlist and will allow you to listen to high quality streaming versions of some of my favorite music. I'll try to keep it updated regularly, so check back from time to time. I'll try to introduce you to some good music that you may not have heard before.

I'll start you off now with a fantastic song written and performed by my friend Dan Meyers. I met Dan about a decade ago, when he had just decided to tell his Marine chaplain father that he was going to drop out of West Point to pursue his music. After much discussion, Dan's father supported him in his decision and Dan now travels all over the world bringing the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ to US troops. He sings for them and then shares a message that would not be possible if he were a member of the armed forces himself. God is using Dan greatly.

Easter song - The bells are still ringing

Thank You, My Redeemer!

Christ is the Victor!!

He is risen!

Happy Easter!

Easter - He is alive, for he is risen!

Two thousands years ago a man taught us about God. The people in charge put him to death, but not before he had captured the attention of the world.

Jesus still motivates, inspires, and intimidates people so many years later. But more importantly, Jesus still saves all those who will turn from their sin and trust in his death, burial, and resurrection. The resurrection that we celebrate today.

Praise the Lord! Jesus has risen from the dead!

The Weekend's Here! (April 10, 2009)

I had another video scheduled for today, but when one of my coworkers sent me this, I just couldn't resist. For those of you who don't like political humor, I apologize, but this one was just too funny—albeit quite sad in its truthfulness.

Wizard's First Rule - The Legend of the Seeker

In a previous post I recommended Wizard’s First Rule by Terry Goodkind. This is one of the best fantasy books I've ever read. Goodkind is a fantastic storyteller and his books really draw me into the plot.

I was excited to read a while ago that they were making a movie of Wizard’s First Rule. But after the first mention of this I heard no more—until yesterday when I went to the High Definition gallery at hulu.com. And there it was, but under a different title.

Here it is—the full-length movie that launched the series “The Legend of the Seeker.” I hope you enjoy it.

No longer the world's leading nation

Our new president has now bowed before the king of Saudi Arabia. You can see the waist-deep bow at approximately 50 seconds into this video:

“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Uh, yeah.... Unless he was grasping the king’s shoelaces, I believe that body action is described as a bow.

Simply shocking.
